DURINDFIRE

[:: Legends Of The Jedi ::]

The Durindfire Quest is an RP event that the Immortals manufacture when the
Empire goes to fund the Deathstar. There are two sides of this quest. The
Deathstar is the primary reason, but the Republic has the opportunity to obtain
a comparable reward if they manage to match the Empire out in the gem quest.
(That is IC, and dependent entirely on the RP)

Anna randomly passes out Durindfire gemstones to non-Imperial and non-Republic
players and scatters them about the game in semi-hidden areas. It's the Empire
and Republics responsibility to hunt these stones out in any way that they can.
Enough stones will end up in game to enable each side to have their reward,
however, there are IC variables at play which may result in either side failing
to gather their minimum amount needed to get what was coming to them.

Each side has two NPC style characters who RP the collection of the stones, and
the procurement of the item that the stones will ultimately fund. Once a stone
ends up in the hands of any of these NPC characters, then that stone is counted
for the side that the NPC is working for.

-If a Republican gives a stone to the Imperial NPC, it is counted as an
Imperial stone. Vice Verse.
-NPCs may attempt to trick or verbally coax the opposite parties to give stones
to the side they work for, but they may not take a stone from another player,
and they may not otherwise interfere. It is the players responsibility to know
who their NPCs are, or to give their stones to their commanding officers.
-If the NPC is killed by a member of either clan, there is a fine of 2 stones
to the killers clan bank, unless the Imms see that there was malicious intent
to harm the home clan.
-If the NPC is killed by a non Imperial or non Republican person, the NPC is to
be restored, and the permer is left to deal with Anna, who can be expected to
be grumpy by that point.
-Gems may not be stolen from the NPC. Period.
-Before a stone makes it to the hands of the NPC, that stone may be stolen,
bartered with, or dropped and junked. It doesnt count until it lands in the
inventory of the NPC, and once it is there, it cannot revert back as a playable
gem.

By carrying a Durindfire stone, you are consenting to participate in this
quest, and you agree to RP the outcome of events that occur as a result. For
example, the Empire might discover that you have a gem in your possession, and
in order to take it from you, they might RP holding a banquet in your honor, or
they might send someone in to seduce your character. They might outright trick
you, or lie to you. They can even kill you if their RP attempts fail.


[Update] NPCs who are playing the parts of the officiators of this event have
an obligation to be compliant with Imperials or Republicans (Or any player for
that matter) to avoid their own characters deaths. Ideally, they cannot attack,
and they cannot be attacked. Outside of verbally coaxing a player to surrender
a gem to them, or traveling to meet a player to collect a gem, or RP with them,
they may not interfere with the course of this gem event. They must freely give
their names out and identify themselves as being from the Hapan Consortium when
asked for their identity.

[Update] After trying the event on for size for a few days, we wanted to tweak
it a little. Each NPC may be detained by the opposing clan for up to 5 times,
and up to 1 hour at a time. (No back to back detaining) The Hapan is welcome to
avoid capture if they feel that its ICly appropriate to do that by running,
hiding, defending themselves with a blaster (set to stun), and may attempt to
flee a planet in a public shuttle. If IDed, that NPC Hapan must offer their
identity to capital ships who are attempting to maintain border patrol. They
may not hide in a home!
